The novel Phobos, published in 2011 and written by Steve Alten as the third and final part of his Domain trilogy, shows a fictional story where strangelets are unintentionally created at the Large Hadron Collider and escape from it to destroy the Earth.
After launching the nuclear missiles via LGM-118 Peacekeeper at the strangelet, time is reversed back to the starting of the film and Ben is shown to be much kinder to Terry and Leo.
